Poor sleep may play a part in aggressive behavior among children, according to new research that found that children who bully other kids are more likely to be sleepy during the day. In the study, researchers from the University of Michigan Medical School found that children with conduct problems at school were twice as likely to have sleep-disordered breathing problems or daytime sleepiness as other children who reportedly got adequate amounts of sleep. "What this study does is raise the possibility that poor sleep, from whatever cause, can indeed play into bullying or other aggressive behaviors- a major problem that many schools are trying to address," Louise O'Brien, assistant professor in the University of Michigan's Sleep Disorders Center and the departments of neurology and oral and maxillofacial surgery, said in a university news release. |
